Lift and wheels get installed tomorrow! Ive logged 30 miles in it so far and can't stand driving a stock Jeep. The wrenches will be turning in my garage tomorrow.

That's awesome!  The latest new vehicle I bought had a detailed break-in procedure (it sucked driving it until the break-in period was over).  Does Jeep detail a break-in procedure for the JKs? 

There is a 'wrench day' subsection in the Shop Talk supersection that may garner you some help if you desire some.

I got the Metal Cloak lift installed over the weekend.  I netted 4.25" front/4" rear on the 2.5" lift.  Metal Cloak saw my post on JKO and contacted me.  Turns out they sent me 3.5" springs.  Easy mistake.  They are shipping the 2.5" springs today.  Springs are easy to swap.  I'll post up some after pictures too.

It rides really good but a little twitchy.  I loaded it down today when I picked up the bumpers and and it was like driving a totally difference Jeep.  Great road manners and very smooth.

Twitchy, too little castor?

Is it this kit that comes with front upper control arms only?  A different approach than most.

I got the Duroflex kit that has the upper and lower control arms. 

I don't have the control arms dialed in yet - the front pinion and castor needs set.  I don't want to spend the time until I get my bumpers installed (and now the springs as well).
